on Christmas day, to celebrate the
incarnation Of the Son of God. The
great central fact that the .Word

us, : Is the earnest Of all that we hope
for in the great hereafter. 1t gives
us all the assurances that we have
that fallen man may be reconciled to
an offended Diety. THAT the all.merci.

glad message to humanity is "peace

with the new year he will begin
to make drags or harrows for the
spring trade, and for that purpose he
has already ordered thirty tons Of
iron and steel. He viii make not
less than thousand harrows of three
distinct styles, having respectively
sixty. seventy and eighty teeth. with
such special sizes as the trade may
demand. The best Of material will
be used beth in the wood and iron
work, and they will be put together
for strength. Bent stock, which adds
strength and durability. win take the
place of SO many joints as are usual.
With this grand Improvement, and
the finest qnality of steel dagger
teeth, the factory will put upon the
market the best goods that can be
purchased. No pains in manufacture,
nor expense in materialwill be spared.
Mr.. Keller is bound to have this fac
tory famous far and near for its ex-
ceilent output.
To meet demands it has been nee
essary to run the foundry without
intermission, and new boring ma.
chine has been ordered which will
drill thirty holes in the frames of
the drags at one operation,
When it IS considered that 10000
bolt holes will have to be drilled upon
the first lot made, and as many belts
inserted, some idea can be formed OF
what is required.
The Keller seeder will also be made
for next seasons use, and with all
the lines of goods to be made there
will be no tine for idleness. The fac
tory is a prominent feature of the
village, and adds not little to the
prosperity of the community.
